I have noticed that if I comment in post-race discussion for an event in which I didn't actually take part, it becomes the most recent race report displayed in my driver page. I would suggest that the race reports in the driver page should be constrained to events which the driver actually participated in.

Seems to me that if a person didn't take part in a race they shouldn't be able to make post-race comments. After all, if one didn't race, how can you make post race comments, for a race you didn't race in?

I think it is nice that a non-participant can join in on the excitement of post-race discussions.

Being rewarded or congratulated from a non-participant is just as good as a participant right?

Yes, there are plenty of reasons for non-participants to discuss the race results, like Tim said, comments from people who follow the results or for people who may have been first-hand spectators to the event, not to mention stewards making comments about decisions.

Your suggestion Justin is in fact one of the updates planned for the personal homepages.
